Republican senators celebrate their Brett Kavanaugh win in the ‘SNL’ cold open

TwitterFacebook

With his bugged out eyes, elongated face, and overall turtle vibe, Beck Bennett is a brilliant Mitch McConnell. Hopefully he’ll have many more opportunities to play the Senate majority leader as the G.O.P faces blowback after voting on Saturday to confirm a historically unpopular — and alleged sexual assaulter, let’s not forget — the the U.S. Supreme Court.

The latest Saturday Night Live cold open skipped Matt Damon’s Kavanaugh and Alec Baldwin’s Donald Trump to focus on the imagined G.O.P. after-party following Kavanaugh’s confirmation. It’s a bunch of old white men jumping around awkwardly. Plus Susan Collins. Read more…

Existing on Twitter when you’re not named after a controversial political figure is hard enough, but users named Brett Kavanagh, Susan Collins, and more have learned it’s a whole other level of hellscape when your name’s in the news.

Crowdfunding campaign against Susan Collins surges after senator says she’ll confirm Kavanaugh

TwitterFacebook

Susan Collins, a Republican senator from Maine, announced Friday in a long-winded, tone-deaf speech that she’d vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. The decision may be the biggest mistake of her political career. 

Before she announced her support, a crowdfunding campaign to unseat Collins in 2020 should she vote for Kavanaugh had already reached $1.8 million. Soon after she began defending Kavanaugh in her speech, the website crashed due to a high level of traffic. Liz Jaff, co-director of the “Be a Hero” campaign, confirmed the incident in a tweet. 

Too much traffic for the page @Crowdpac is down but will be back up shortly and then you can show your rage and donate!
